May 10, 2022: -On Monday, Bitcoin decreased below the critical psychological level of $33,000, just days after making up to $40,000 in a Fed-induced rally last Wednesday.
Since Thursday, Bitcoin has been steadily extending its declines when it fell sharply alongside the stock market sell-off and took one more steep fall over the weekend. According to Coin Metrics, the price of bitcoin was down nearly 5% at $32,843.01. On that day, it decreases as low as $32,650.25, its weakest since in the previous July.
Ether’s moves from the last five days of crypto trading are 24 hours, which include weekends that have followed bitcoins. It’s down about 5% to $2,402.70 on Monday.
“Bitcoin has followed the lead of the equity market, extending lower after a weak April,” said Katie Stockton, founder of Fairlead Strategies. “Short-term momentum has deteriorated and bitcoin is no longer oversold from a short-term perspective.”
Stockton said bitcoin has no counter-trend signals but that the equity market looks poised to rebound this week, which could carry over to cryptocurrencies. For almost a year, the crypto market, led by bitcoin, has remained highly correlated with the moves inequities, especially tech stocks. April was the worst month since 2008 for the technology-dominated Nasdaq Composite Index.
Critical U.S. inflation data for April, which should be released on Wednesday, could be a temporary “turning point” for bitcoin, according to Yuya Hasegawa, a crypto market analyst at Japanese bitcoin exchange Bitbank.
“If the CPI shows no sign of slowing down, it will add to the fear of faster monetary tightening,” Hasegawa said. “But other inflation metrics are starting to slow down, and the April CPI could follow suit, which will likely alleviate the market’s concern and help recover its risk sentiment.”
It wouldn’t be enough to reverse market sentiment completely. However, he said.

It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact.
